One of the most amazing cocoa plantations is the Elvesia plantation in the Dominican Republic. When I visit my friend’s farm, I am always overcome with peace and as I walk through the trees in solitude, I have a chance to reach back to my roots. Not just my roots with cocoa and chocolate but, who I am as a person.

Walk through this plantations trees. See the cocoa, hear the birds, and it is my hope that you will see what I see as I walk through the trees. Perhaps you too will be able to sense that same peace that can only be found on a cocoa plantation.

Drying cocoa is its own art. It takes a lot of skill on the part of the workers to dry the cocoa properly in order to bring out the proper flavors. This is even more complicated when the weather and humidity conspire to make drying anything difficult.

Here is a mini tour of one of the dryers of the Elvesia plantation in the Dominican Republic.

There is a lot of support that is needed to run a chocolate factory. There are cocoa warehouses that dot the world. They can be found in cocoa growing countries to hold the cocoa prior to shipment. As you can imagine, they are also found in cocoa processing countries to hold the cocoa prior to the cocoa turning into finished chocolate.

This tour takes you through one a cocoa warehouse in the United States. This warehouse is used as a staging area for not just Amano’s cocoa but most all the cocoa that will be used on the West Coast. East Bay Logistics is truly a jewel in the supply chain and they graciously let us create this tour of their warehouse so that you can see a bit of what happens behind the scenes. We (and they) hope you enjoy the tour.
